I *STRONGLY* advise you to try something different: install Xming and try to
get Tim Daly to give you instructions on compiling Axiom with HyperTex on
MS-Windows. Possibly Bill Page also can help. If you mangage to get HyperDoc
running and you provide some documentation, I'd propose you for a bounty!

If neither of them does, please send mail again, and I'll try to do something
myself.

Alternatively, if you are keen on programming and know some perl, then maybe
Ralf Hemmecke would be able to show you how to modify his AllProse to get
something similar to HyperDoc. But I guess this is more difficult.

The great thing about hyperdoc is that you can enter a category, say, for
example, Ring, then press on a button labelled "Domains" and you will get all
Domains known to Axiom that are Rings. I.e., Integer, Polynomial Integer,
Fraction Integer, PrimeField, and so on. 

In my opinion, that's the best way to discover Axiom.

PS: I just remember, Kai Kaminski has converted some pages to html. But again,
I don't think that's the way to go.
